Going Through the Motions

sad people ~ day after day wallowing in misery sad and they don’t understand running and running content in their clouds of misery empty people ~ ignoring what’s down deep inside empty and they don’t understand running and running ignoring the void they feel inside shallow people ~ living a shell for an existence shallow and they don’t understand running and running like robots a superficial existence blind people ~ insensitive to light blind and they don’t understand running and running refusing to see what’s in their own heart dead people ~ mimicking the motions dead and they don’t understand running and running dead~ they've tuned out their emotions AP: 3rd place 2021 Posted on February 5, 2018
